Joining the blue clan wasn't what you wanted, but rather being forced to, after the Blue King Munakata Reisi offered you a position in his league in exchange for Yata's freedom, in which the red haired boy objected harshly.

"Sorry, Yata-chan, I'll be going off. Take care of Mikoto, and everyone. Make sure he stays at the bar and don't cause trouble." Saying those words hurt your heart, but you had to. You didn't want Yata to be killed by the Blue clan.

"Wait F/N-chan! You can't just go off like that! F/N! F/N!" He shouted, and ran forward, only to be stopped by other Blue clansmen, while you walked together with the infamous trio; Munakata, Awashima and Fushimi.

"Wow. Leaving without any regrets. I'll have to praise you for that." The sharp tongue, Fushimi launched an attack, in which you rebutted.

"Keep that damn mouth of yours shut. You have no right to talk to me in such manner, traitor."

Soon a hand grabbed on your collar and slammed you onto the wall hard. His eyes were cold and sharp with anger rising in his orbs, but you didn't give a damn about it. Awashima Seri then stepped in while the King simply just continued walking.

"Fushimi! Let her go!" He made a click sound on his tongue, then took his hand off your collared shirt reluctantly. Readjusting your shirt, you continued the journey back to Scepter 4's headquarters.

Being an expert in all types of electronical devices and also a brilliant hacker, working in the intel division wasn't a big deal. Everyone changed their perceptions on you, and begun to close the gap between you, except that certain sharp-tongued man.

"Domyouji! Your report is written like a piece of shit! Why the hell would you write that idiotic conversation into it?! Get your ass back here and rewrite it again!" Slamming your phone down you regained your typing pace, obviously grumpy now. It was late night and there were piles of reports to finish. Everyone had turned in for bed, leaving you to settle the remaining paperwork with anger boiling up with each report done.

"A certainly short-tempered lady we have here."

"I don't need comments from you-" You realised something was wrong, before looking for the source. It was Munakata.

"C-Captain! I am deeply sorry for my rudeness!" You bowed down, regretting your reply to him earlier.

"It's fine, F/N-kun. You must be stressed up from doing the reports. I understand, so please calm down. I won't kill anyone just for that." He chuckled at his small joke, before sitting on the opposite side facing you. He took out a can of coffee from his pocket, and passed it to you. "On my treat," he said, while lighting a cigarette.

"Captain, can I ask you a question?"

"What is it?"

"Why did you grant me a place for me in the Blue clan even though I belong to the Red? Is it because of Fushimi's influence?"

"No, it's not because of Fushimi's influence. I see the potential in you, F/N-kun. I can't let a gem like you go undiscovered." You blushed a little at his words. A gem? Impossible. You were just a normal lady.

"I am flattered."

He sat up and leaned his body towards me. His face was just beside my ear.

"I mean it from my heart.  Do know that my trust in you is more than anyone including Awashima-kun."

Leaving the office, you were lost in words, unable to make a reply towards his comment. 

~♤~

"Suoh Mikoto! Stop using your powers!"

"Hnph. As if you could stop me." He threw his punches at Munakata, who simply evaded it and swung his saber to prevent him from using further powers. Suoh's Sword of Damocles was on the verge of collapsing, and yet he kept fighting, knowing that he was reaching his limit.

"Fushimi! Take care of things here!" You knocked out a Red clansmen before keeping your saber back and running towards the location where the two Sword of Damocles were seen up high. The sharp-tongued man was annoyed.

"Hey F/N! Don't just throw all the things to me!"

You didn't give a reply and just kept rushing towards the area. Reaching, you saw your King ready to launch his attack on the Red King.

"F/N, ready!"

The clicking noise was heard as you pulled your saber, stabbing the king. The tip of the Red Damocles was just above your head. 

You didn't want Reisi to bear the burden of killing a fellow King.

He was dead. Damocles Down was prevented.

Unfortunately Munakata was taken aback at your sudden presence, and he couldn't stop his saber, stabbing into your back. Drops of blood landed on the snowy ground. Retracting the saber out from his lifeless body, the Red Sword turned to dust, dissipating into the cold air. You dropped your saber onto the ground, falling. Munakata acted fast. You felt your body being landed onto the snowy ground slowly. You began to have ragged breaths coming out from your mouth, as time passed by. He took off his coat and covered your body with it, trying to preserve as much body heat as possible. The handkerchief was now soaked in crimson liquid, overflowing. Throwing the handkerchief aside, he used his blue flames to reduce the bleeding instead.

"F/N-kun. Don't drift off. You are not allowed to die without my permission as a King."

He wrapped his arms around your frame, sharing his warmth with you. 

You couldn't feel anything at that time. Is that grief or relief?

Maybe Suoh could be saved? Or not?

Choppers were soon seen hovering above the sky, and soon your vision turned into darkness.

~~

After the incident, you were promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, something that you did not expect.

"Why did you promote me? I did nothing worthy for this."

"You do. You bore the burden of killing a King. It must be hard on you."

You felt your heart sinking. It wasn't a hasty decision that you made on that day, but something you have been considering since the small conversation. You wanted to protect him, protect your King as a Blue Clansmen. 

You have a liking for him. But he will never know, and understand. 

A King can't have his attention on relationships.

"It's only a thing that every Clansmen will do. You are my King after all."

Turning to leave his office, he grabbed on your wrist and cornered you to the wall. You were taken aback by his action.

"You like me, don't you?"

He read you like a book easily. A tinge of red dusted on your cheeks, no, your entire face was red. You always thought you were excellent in hiding your true self, but it was seen by Munakata.

Noticing that your face was red, he let go of your wrist and removed himself from the wall, creating a distance between you and him.

"Go and have your rest. I don't think that wound of yours is able to handle my rough actions, so please rest well. You may leave."

You felt completely embarassed, and stomped out of him office hurriedly, leaving him to smirk at your reaction.

I will come and find you.
